197.2 16 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
20 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol. 17 click.
18 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
19 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
20 improve size hint setting.
21 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
22 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
23 to correctly position their preedit window.
24 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
25 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
26 in empts spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
27 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
28 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.

307.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
31 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
32 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
33 resource value.
34 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
35 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
36 relevant tab window.
37 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
38 (initial patch by hednod).
39 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
40 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
41 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
42 the benefit of automove-background.
43 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
44 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
45 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
46 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
47 __linux__.
48 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
49 the colour components.
50 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
51 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
52 - more colour rtt optimisations.
53 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
54 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
55 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
56 - minor libptytty update.
57
587.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
59 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
60 detection:
61 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
62 - overlap detection was improved.
63 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
64 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
65 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
66 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
67 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
68 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
69 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
70 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
71 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
72 broken.
73 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
74 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
75 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
76 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
77 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
78 (patch by Paco-Paco).
79 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
80 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
81 an "[alpha]" prefix.
82 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
83 transparent. Long Live Xft!
84 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
85 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
86 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
87 on a pseudocolor screen.
88 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
89 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
90 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
91 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
92 - small configure updates.
93 - further RTT optimisations.
94
957.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
96 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
97 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
98 - small configure updates for libptytty.
99 - fixed version options: line output.
100 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
101
1027.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
103 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
104 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
105 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
106 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
107 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
108 selection extension.
109 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
110 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
111 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
112 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
113 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
114 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
115 needs the careful rendering mode.
116 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
117 too wide and needs careful mode.
118 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
119 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
120 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
121 atoms only once per display.
122 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
123 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
124 xterm.
125
1267.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
127 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
128 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
129 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
130 ctrl-shift-672c).
131 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
132 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
133 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
134 the primary screen.
135 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
136 could lead to an assertion failure.
21 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal. 137 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
138 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
139 via mouse clicks.
140 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
141 with shift - mouse button 2.
22 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates 142 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
23 in non-synthetic events. 143 in non-synthetic events.
144 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
145 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
146 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
147 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
148 whole urxvt[d] process.
149 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
150 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
151 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
152 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
